To be honest, though, I do believe the poster appeals to people who
see in it a validation of their own racial prejudices, even if they
can't acknowledge them. That my short post hit such a deep, raw nerve
clearly shows that race was very much part of the illustration's
attraction.

Because, after all, why would anybody object to being tarred with the wholly unacceptable and marginalising pejorative "racist" if one wasn't, in fact, racist?

Circular logic noted. Remind me again why people on the left think they're smarter?
